Think we might go stronger that that up front - Dan Sheehan at hooker, Clarkson at tighthead, Penny at openside.

[wixfjord]

Penny is injured isn't he?

Bit of a shame that Jack Dunne hasn't/won't get more game time at senior level this season.

Would've been perfect to integrate him in some of those 6N time Pro14 games. Hopefully he gets a bench spot at least.

Given injury situation at hooker can they risk Sheehan? Penny is injured. Clarkson could start, true.

I reckon they'll want Dan to play. It has been a while since he togged out.

I thought Penny was going through RTP protocols - is he definitely out?

Monday update said he needed to get a neck strain checked out

With Kelleher absent due to covid and cronin injured its a risk to play him in a meaningless game. They may do tho, will have to wait and see tomorrow.

Ah MI, I'm very disappointed in ye! You let me down there. I had me face all set for it

How highly rated is Jamie Osborne?
& I thought he is more of a winger/full back rather than a 12

He played multiple positions underage.. was mainly a fullback and wing for Ireland u18 two seasons ago.. but he is quite big and I don't think they've decided on his long term position yet.. he started at 12 in the last game so I'd expect he could continue there given injuries at the position. Seems to be quite highly rated.

[Blue Man]

I wonder if we’ll pick a strong side; give a run out to Larmour, Lowe, O’Loughlin, Frawley, Byrne, Leavy, Josh Murphy; guys who are returning from injury and/or mightn’t make the starting XV for the turnips match

Lots of sub-academy guys in there. Should be interesting

Looking to give RB more time at 6 I'd guess and a chance for CK to get back on the horse.
